Without the trailing comma, yes. With the trailing comma, no, that would be
invalid syntax. Exactly like it used to be without >>:

>>> print 

>>> print ,
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print ,
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

>>> print >> sys.stderr

>>> print >> sys.stderr,
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print >> sys.stderr,
                       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
